The Angel`s Share

Robbie is a loser. He is in his twenties, his girlfriend is pregnant, and assaulting a young man left him with a community service order. One day Robbie’s probation worker takes him and his work group fellows to a Scotch whisky tasting, where Robbie unexpectedly discovers he has a palate for the drink. A piece of information about a randomly discovered barrel of the world’s finest whiskey constitutes a welcome yet illegal opportunity to provide for himself and his family for the rest of their lives.
